Creeper cages are 10g a piece. Order now and get the CC2 Upgrade for free (normally 5g upgrade or 15g made to order) once I get it working!

I still have to build Cliffworms' and Wampbits' cages and I can't do that until they are on to tell me where they want it. So if you want one, let me know and I'll come over and build it!

-=[]=- BlockTec

EDIT: We can check, but we can't grief Pov. if we enter without permission they have a right to PvP us. If we find a cage, we can destroy it as I have the IP for it, with or without permission.

Wait is a creeper cage a creeper spawn ?
If so I need to get this game, I have a nice idea for that.

Nah. It's actually very simple. All you do is-NO! I wasn't going to tell, Bone! I swear that I wasn't! Ahhhhhh!!! :obliviongate:

So is it a spawner or one of those traps people build that just keeps killing them letting you farm resources.

It's simply an empty room that he waits for creepers to spawn in. He then kills them from a place where they cannot reach, like behind a door or on top of a wall.

It also has various block types, like dirt, sand, cobblestone, and tree trunks. If you were to try and build one yourself it would be found and destroyed.

As this thread's stalker, I have a few questions about this:

1.Exactly how extensive is your patent? Are only exact replicas actionable, or can you act on works of similar construction?

2.At what point does an independent creeper catcher become actionable under the copyright?

3. why isn't the IP stuff in the rules at all and just spawned in the course of the thread?

4.Also, why isn't your patent published on this thread so that inventors can see whether or not their own works are too similar?

Anything that uses similar mechanisms as the CC. Such as the doors and feeding area. Both of these mechanisms have a distinct purpose.

2.At what point does an independent creeper catcher become actionable under the copyright?

When someone finds it and/or reports it. Reporting a copy will give a finders fee of 1g.

3. why isn't the IP stuff in the rules at all and just spawned in the course of the thread?

Wamp hasn't put it in the OP yet but he did mention it in the last thread or early in this one.

4.Also, why isn't your patent published on this thread so that inventors can see whether or not their own works are too similar?

I have a showroom that anyone can come and check out as long as they stick to the showroom and don't wander about to the rest of the facilities. I have customers and interested parties that can attest to its function that it actually does work as intended.

I run outside and collect creepers so that I can run inside my door and kill them from that? Does that violate your copyright? I was doing it before I even knew about your Creeper Cage.

No. That does not violate copyright. There is no work involved with the creeper cage other than swinging a sword and opening a door with 0% chance of getting hurt if used properly.

I've been robbed. I'm looking at you, Vidicus (Or whatever you spell it as). You're the only person that I've seen out this far.

Oh, not only that, but it seems that my reed farm has been... changed.

You could...but it'd violate the server rules.

So me and SimpsonFly just ragequit from building my city because an invisible mob that followed us EVERYWHERE (including up ladders!) kept hitting us at THE EXACT MOMENT we were in a position to be pushed off of something high up. So it was basically a mob that only hit when it intended to push you off of something. It killed Simpson from fall damage once and pushed both of us off the top of my tower (that we got to with A LADDER) before we just gave up.

Alright, I'm not able to copy the current map into paint for some reason, but I'd like to slightly alter my land claim if that's ok (it's a bit off compared to how I had it originally anyway).

Basically, if you look at the map, I'd like to forfeit the coastland I have above my base, and instead make my land a slightly bigger circle around my base, expanding more to the left and down, while also taking the circular lake to the right (or at least like half of it).

Mostly I just want the lake/a part of the lake and a little bit more room around my base, instead of just land to the east. If that's ok.

As soon as I get the map to work with paint, I'll post what I'm talking about.

That's a little hard to do when all you're trying to do is build a floor to put said wall on.

Quick question, am I meant to PM one of the Server OPs, or do I add my MC name and wait for it to be added to the whitelist or am I doomed to continue a tale of isolation that is known as the Minecraft Singleplayer? :P

Yeah, I'd just do both. A PM would probably work faster though.

Yeah, I was just there. What did they do? It looks like someone trapped the door with TNT. I assume that you tried to repair it as best you could?
